Donald Trump is my hero

"Four years from now, these pikers will discover the truth: that the cruelty and contempt are not just the essential ingredients of Trumpism but exactly what Republican voters hunger for. They don’t want deregulation, or a lower marginal tax rate, or even The Wall. What they want is the liberation to talk freely about the people they hate.

Four years from now, another group of eager senators and governors will get crushed while seeking the Republican presidential nomination. Maybe they will lose to Donald Trump himself. Maybe to Don Jr. Perhaps to a glib cable TV host.

Maybe then they’ll understand that there is no going back."

He’s not alone, of course. We already heard about some weird group called the “We the People Convention” has already called for “limited martial law,” as has Virginia gubernatorial candidate Amanda Case.

By “limited” they mean the military could seize voting machines in swing states and force a new election. Trump could “immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these voting machines.”

Wide mouthed frog dancing (?) does the white lady version of what she thinks is hip. Is she related to Elaine?

"Trump might be planning a final grand distraction before he is forced to relinquish his office.

The question is not whether Trump has the power to do any of this. He holds the authority of Article II of the Constitution until noon on January 20. As unsettling as it may be to realize this, Trump—like any American president—can launch anything, from a reconnaissance mission to a nuclear strike, even as Biden is standing on the steps of the Capitol waiting to be sworn in."

Supporters of President Trump from across the country are planning a large rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6—the day Congress is scheduled to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory—in what’s being characterized as a final push to overturn the election’s results.

Let's tell all of our MAGA friends not to miss the rally on JANUARY 8!
EIGHT IS THE DATE!

I was afraid my reference might be too subtle. Glad to see it was not.

How Hitler seized power in Nazi Germany:

1. Create a crisis.
2. Demonize opponents.
3. Declare a state of emergency.
4. Undermine elections.
5. Demand loyalty to Hitler, not to the country.
6. Make the rule of law irrelevant.
7. Rule by executive order.

Number 4 is trending

So, what would a coup look like?

... Georgetown Law professor Rosa Brooks organized 67 legal scholars, retired military officers, former senior government officials and political strategists —let’s call them the Transition Integrity Project— to act out every imaginable post-election scenario, how exactly would Trump pull off this supposed coup?
...
Well, here are all seven of the possible steps Trump would take if a close and contested election was “resolved through the exercise of power, not through the courts.”

• Calling for recounts in all states in which victory was not already apparent.
• Launching coordinated investigations at the state and federal levels into alleged “voting irregularities” in an effort to undermine public confidence in results that did not go Trump’s way and/or alter the results.
• Attempting to halt the counting of mail-in ballots by filing cases in state court or leaning on Republican leaders to stop vote counting or to certify a result early, without waiting for the certified results from the secretary of state.
• Turning out their well-organized and committed base to take to the streets in Trump’s favor, in part by disseminating disinformation about the danger posed by pro-Biden demonstrators (e.g., by suggesting likely Antifa violence, etc.).
• Relying on both FOX News and right-wing social media to echo and amplify pro-Trump messages and facilitate the harassment and bullying of election officials, to cause chaos and delay and/or to intimidate officials into taking actions that benefited Team Trump
• Using federal agencies to justify or support Trump campaign tactics. In one of the more aggressive moves undertaken in one of the TIP exercises, Team Trump had Attorney General Bill Barr order the seizure of mail-in ballots to ensure that vote counting would stop.

So.
After Trump has incited a crowd of supporters to storm Congress, where are we now?

Given the various international actions Trump has instigated that appear to be against U.S. interests but are in the interests of Russia, how much of Trump's numerous attacks on democracy could be related to owing more to Putin et al. Particularly considering how much 'democracy success' is a serious pain in the side, if not a threat, to them.
Things that make you go hmmmm...

He's sure destroyed democracy's image to the world.
And the image of the United States of America.
